Visited Glacier Bay on my own one year, and stayed at Homestead. It was great, Tom and Sally gave me excellent advice and it was so comfortable that I came back to Glacier another year with my wife, and again had an excellent time. It is possible to use one of their bikes to Glacier Bay (a few miles), and... More

Everything was excellent, the beds the rooms, the hosts, the location..... The breakfasts were such a gastronomic treat with all the homemade food. I loved the bikes, thank you so much for lending them to us, I want a bike just like yours now. Close by was the pizza restaurant with the locals, the art gallery, the quaint little liquor... More

Tom & Sally are fantastic hosts and have a wonderful, homey and very comfortable B&B. Breakfast includes fresh goodies from the chicken coop or garden and the BEST coffee ever! Long-time residents, they can give great advice on where to go, what to do, and what not to miss. I love my stays and will return again and again. Kaye... More

I was a single traveler coming to Gustavus to go whale watching. I called Sally from the ferry as I was headed to Juneau and luckily, she and Tom were able to accommodate me. They arranged from a taxi to pick me up at the airport and deliver me to their bed and breakfast. They also arranged for the taxi... More

We had the privilege of staying at Homestead as part of our Glacier Bay experience. Sally was amazing in arranging the charter flights in from Juneau, the kayaking and Glacier Bay cruise. Her help relieved a lot of stress in planning the holiday. The B&B is wonderful and Sally's breakfasts are probably the healthiest we have eaten in ages! Everything... More

Sally greeted us. After settling in, we got on bicycles like we had not ridden in decades. The bikes had high handle bars and coaster brakes, but were in good working condition and quite adequate for the mostly flat terrain. We had the opportunity to explore the area. The next morning Sally served scrambled eggs using combination of fresh duck... More

Sally and Tom's charmingly updated farmhouse is warm, comfortable, and right next to the Gustavus Inn (a superb dinner option.) Due to some mixed-up flight details, Sally had to make three trips to the airport to pick up the 4 of us and get us to the Gustavus Inn in time for a GREAT dinner. A short stroll later we... More

Sally & Tom's Homestead B&B is exactly what it says - a "home"stead. Fabulous home-farmed home-cooked breakfasts, big lawns with hens, ducks and a dog. But all with a lovely low-key non-intrusive feel. A guest living room upstairs with Wireless, TV & DVD was a nice extra. As were bikes for guests to use. All amidst the beautifully-undeveloped scrubby backwater... More

This is a charming bed and breakfast in the wonderful town of Gustavus. Gustavus is where you go if you are going to Glacier Bay National Park. I highly recommend staying at a B and B in gustavus instead of staying at the more touristy glacier bay lodge and after having been on the island for four days, I really... More
